Abstract
(E)-5-(2-bromovinyl-2'-deoxyuridine) crystallizes in the space group P2(1) with a = 12.976(1), b = 4.800(1), c = 20.385(2) A, beta = 96.88(1) degrees, Z = (two molecules a and b in the asymmetric unit). The structure has been determined by the use of 2400 diffractometer reflexions and refined by least-squares to R of 0.053. Conformational features of both molecules a and b resemble those of thymidine. The ribofuranose rings assume the rare C(3')-exo form observed also in thymidine. Similarly, the torsion angles around the glycosidic bonds (mean = 40(1) and 56(1) degrees fall in the anti range. In each molecule the best plane of the 2-bromovinyl moiety is bent out of the least-squares plane of the pyrimidine base by 6 degrees, so that the positively charged C(8)-H(8) group can donate an intramolecular hydrogen bond to 0(4) atom. Eight strong and weak intermolecular hydrogen bridges are built up between the symmetry independent and related molecules forming a complicated three dimensional hydrogen bond network.
